For the second consecutive week, Telugu films have posted low numbers at the American box office.
Last weekend, Kiran Abbavaram starrer “Sammathame” was released in many locations. As Kiran made a name for himself with his previous films, the distributor went for a wider release for this movie.
However, “Sammathame” could barely collect 55k dollars on the first weekend. It is a flop show.
Sammathame: Fri: $25,851 Sat: $19,639 Sun: 9k apprx Toal: $55k
On the other hand, Kamal Haasan’s “Vikram” has reached its closing run. The film has collected $2.8 million so far. It may add a couple of thousands to its kitty. It is the most prominent Tamil blockbuster in recent times.
Adivi Sesh’s much-hyped “Major” could not add a large amount to its kitty after the first week. It ended the theatrical run. So is the case with Nani’s “Ante Sundaraniki”.
Vikram: $2.8 million
Ante Sundaraniki - $1.13 million
Major: $1.14 million
